'Staying at Stonecroft was like staying with a trustworthy and knowledgeable friend. The food was delicious and Julia's attention to detail was so reassuring. We were offered gluten and dairy-free scones on arrival; gluten free cereals were offered in their boxes so we could check ingredients; really every allergen issue had been thought about.
The whole ethos of Stonecroft is allergy first – rather than a chef designing the menu and then adapting it to suit. I would love to see her win the category – she really deserves to.'

‘A lot of personal time and energy goes into catering for free from guests at this great little seaside B&B. A very tasty dinner and lovely breakfast plus fresh gluten-free cookies for us when we arrived. A good awareness of allergens and good back up information although some of it could have been a little more evident for the guests.'

‘A great B&B for coeliacs. Excellent choice of gluten-free breakfast options and obviously a good understanding of cross contamination issues but just not as much as I would wish to see for sufferers from other allergies.'
